I'm actually disappointed that I procrastinated so long that tickets are no longer available in my local theaters since I find it interesting to compare the different ways source material gets adapted. What I've heard is that while the movie is quite a different adaptation than the anime is, it's got its own merits--especially as a horror movie, and that in fact the way the titans look is especially effective.

But definitely if what you want is just a repeat of the anime, it's probably not what you want.

First off, they lied. It's worse than that. The film is nothing like the Anime. They took way too many liberties with the story. I would love to go on a tirade right now but just in case people are planning on watching it, I'll spare them the spoilers. But I was really disappointed. Oh, and mind you I happened to attend the day that the subtitles froze in the theater. #ivebeenwaitingforthisday

needless to say I already had my ticket for pt. 2 prior to even seeing pt. 1. Still going to watch it but I'm not thrilled about it. Oh well, at least I get to stare at Kiko Mizuhara.
